classily.js v1.0.9

Classily.js

Toggling classes more classily.

Pure JavaScript plugin for toggling classes.

Supports multiple targets. Supports multiple classes. Supports preventing default event.

Intro

Often I find myself writing JS code for toggling classes. After more than 5 years it hit me - why don't I create a plugin that could be used for this purpose and reuse it on every project. Boing!

Now I'm able to control class toggling from HTML directly. No more

Disclaimer

I'm no JavaScript expert, I'm sure the code could be written more effeciently.

If you think you could do better, all contribution are more than welcome.
